- "But Absalomª fled.ª° And the young manª that kept the watchª° lifted upª°¹ his eyes,ª and looked,ª° and, behold,¹ there cameª° muchª peopleª by the wayª¹ of the hill² sideª¹¹ behindª him." {2Sm 13:34} + "And Davidª satª° between¹ the twoª gates:ª and the watchmanª° went up²°¹ to¹ the roofª over the gateª unto¹ the wall,ª and lifted upª°¹ his eyes,ª and looked,ª° and behold¹ a manª runningª° alone.¹" {2Sm 18:24} + "For¹ thus¹ hath the Lordª saidª° unto¹ me, Go,²°¹ setª° a watchman,ª° let him declareª° what¹ he seeth.ª° ... And, behold,¹ here¹ comethª° a chariotª of men,ª [with] a coupleª of horsemen.ª And he answeredª° and said,ª° Babylonª is fallen,ª° is fallen;ª° and all¹ the graven imagesª of her godsª he hath brokenª° unto the ground.ª" {Isa 21:6-9} + "The burdenª of Dumah.ª He callethª° to¹ me out of Seir,ª¹ Watchman,ª° what¹ of the night?ª¹ Watchman,ª° what¹ of the night?ª¹ ...
